The Neal Morse Band - The Great Adventure (Radiant Records)
It seems that Neal Morse has found the fountain of limitless inspiration on feel good prog and keeps making his way into our Top of 2015 and 2016 without even getting started on his other work and side projects like Flying Colors and Transatlantic!! This album is the follow-up to the 2016 concept album "The Similitude of a Dream", and the band's third full length album. The album is split into two CDs that correspond with two Acts and five Chapters of the concept moving between different lyrical themes and musical vibes, never losing that amazing positivity that everyone needs!

The band knows this well and we get to hear the chorus lines in other songs like pipe-organ-packed "To the River" which wraps up Chapter two of Act I bringing back the theme of "The Similitude of a Dream" in a guitar solo and the groovier "Welcome To The World 2". Chapter 3 is darker with tracks like
The Great Adventure is a dose of positivity desperately needed and a cohesive prog album showing that Neal Morse and his band of amazing musicians know how to blend classic prog elements into something new and memorable.
